KIRKLAND – International soccer star and sometime celebrity Hope Solo wants to have the misdemeanor assault charges against her dismissed.

She has been accused of drunkenly assaulting family members in June.

In municipal court here Monday, her attorney asked for a new court day to make motions to dismiss the charges against her and to exclude evidence.

Solo attended the brief hearing and left hand in hand with her husband, former University of Washington and Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens.

Police reports claim that Solo's family members had just let her back into their lives when she fought them early one morning.

Solo, 32, has won two Olympic gold medals for the U.S. women's national soccer team and plays with the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League. She also appeared on TV's "Dancing With the Stars" and in ESPN's The Body Issue, which features photos of naked athletes.

Police reports say that Kirkland officers were sent to the 10600 block of 124th Avenue Northeast in Kirkland, a suburb of Seattle, on reports of a woman "going crazy and hitting people."

After the incident and Solo's arrest, she went to Facebook to apologize.

"I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct," she wrote. "I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed."

She also mentioned her family issues. The affidavit detailing the events leading up to her arrest indicates she had been estranged from her half-sister and nephew until recently.

"I love my family dearly," Solo wrote. "We, like all families, have our challenges but my sincere hope is that we are able to resolve this situation as a family. Adversity has always made us stronger and I know this situation will be no different."

Police reports in Kirkland describe a family that had been fighting when officers arrived a a home this June.

Responding officers heard shouting in the area and found a 17-year-old male with redness on one side of his face and wearing a torn T-shirt. The teen also had a bleeding cut on the bottom of his left ear.

He was crying and said, "we just let her back into our lives" and "(she) always does this."The teen told police that his mother's half-sister, Solo, came over to visit, upset with her husband because "he was being a jerk," the affidavit says.

She appeared to have been drinking and drank wine for some time with her half-sister, reports say.

Solo later grew upset with her nephew over a misunderstanding, then reportedly insulted him, calling him "too fat and overweight and crazy." The nephew told her to get out of the house and went into another room.

Solo reportedly followed him and the two got into an argument that allegedly escalated as Solo "charged" at him and took a swing at him. They then tussled on the ground and she "repeatedly punched him in the face and tackled him," reports say. The nephew grabbed her by the hair and held her to the ground until she appeared to calm down, at which point she reportedly grabbed his hair and pulled him back down, punching him some more, according to the incident report.

Solo's half-sister arrived and tried to break up the fight, but Solo reportedly turned her aggression to her and punched her in the face "several times."

The nephew got a wooden broom that he "broke over (Solo's) head," but Solo reportedly did not relent, so he pointed a BB gun at her.

Solo eventually stopped and her half-sister ultimately pushed her out the door, but she re-entered through an unlocked sliding door and, after some argument, assaulted her sister some more, the affidavit says.

Police ultimately arrived and found that Solo's half-sister had a swollen left cheekbone that was turning purple. The sister apologized to her son for "letting Hope back into their lives" and told police she wanted nothing to do with her, reports say.

Solo's next court date is set for Nov. 4. While her attorney aims to have the case dismissed and to exclude evidence, including hearsay, attorneys for the City of Kirkland listed 11 police officers to testify as witnesses at the hearing.
